Ashes: Only Ben Stokes Can Take Over England's Captaincy, Reckons Ricky Ponting
Ben Stokes is the only man who can be the captain of England's Test side, believes former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting. He added that Stokes could improve his own game with the leadership thrust to him. With England's Test fortunes crumbling under current captain Joe Root, questions have been asked on whether a change in captaincy will revive the team in the longest format of the game.
"The only person that can take over is Ben Stokes. I think Stokes would actually grow as a player if he was the captain of that side. I think with a bit of extra responsibility, he might become an even better player and that might have a good impact on the rest of the team," Ponting was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
